Cody Rhodes Says Part Of His History Is "Locked Behind A Wall" (WWE News)
WWE poster boy Cody Rhodes says he's blocked off from telling his AEW story.
Cody Rhodes says he feels like "an entire huge chapter [of his career] is locked behind a wall". The reigning WWE Champion was interviewing Becky Lynch for his 'What Do You Wanna Talk About?' podcast when 'The Man' turned the spotlight onto Cody and asked if he'd be interested in writing a book about his time in wrestling someday.
Rhodes said he would, but feels that a massive part of his story has been bricked off due to the way it ended.
The WWE poster boy also added that many feel like he's "rewriting history" whenever he broaches the All Elite subject "even though the receipts are literally on social media". He also believes it's easy for people to call his AEW memories "the wrong thing to say", and says that "hurts [his] heart because [he'd] love to tell the story" someday.
Answering Becky's question directly, Rhodes said he'd likely have to wait on "somebody else to tell the story and hopefully they include me in it". He described the end to his AEW run as "very odd", but says he would like to put together an autobiography in the future regardless.
If that happens, then Cody's time in AEW would be a must-have for the book. It's impossible to imagine him talking about his life and career without that chapter, because it's too important. He realises that, but clearly isn't sure how he'd go about telling the tale.
Cody Has Previously Addressed "Terrible" AEW End
This isn't the first time Rhodes has discussed the seemingly bitter end to his AEW run. He's been asked countless times during interviews since jumping from AEW to WWE in 2022, but has always palmed off most questions or kept things brief.
Last year, Cody told Chris Van Vliet that the way things were left "was terrible". He also said during the chat that he couldn't wait until others told the stories he'd like to tell, because "then it’s going to be a whole new ballgame".
Further, last month, Rhodes appeared on The Bill Simmons podcast to say he "wouldn't stand" for "feeling disrespected at something I built with my friends - that we built".
